Change has come to Mar-a-Lago.
Donald Trump’s exclusive helipad at his Palm Beach, Florida members-only club is being torn down from the property.
TMZ has obtained building permits noting the onset of the removal process of the helipad, which was used for Marine One during Trump’s presidency.
According to the outlet, the entire demolition process will cost around $15,000 and is being handled by Pyramid Builders of Palm Beach.
While the town of Palm Beach doesn’t normally allow the use of non-emergency helicopters, an exception was made early in Trump’s presidency. In 2017, a permit was granted allowing the construction of the helipad at the “Winter White House” in order to accommodate Marine One, reported People.
The permit for the 50-foot concrete helipad on the west lawn of the club was granted “on a contingency basis," as officials hoped the pad would allow the president to shuttle to and from Palm Beach International Airport without causing traffic jams and road closures.
A stipulation of the permit was that the helipad would no longer be able to be used once Trump was out of office.

Following the inauguration of President Joe Biden on January 20th, air traffic was no longer permitted to land on the helipad and Trump’s presidential perk ceased to exist.
Since leaving D.C. aboard Air Force One last month, Trump has been living at Mar-a-Lago.
Palm Beach officials are currently conducting a legal review to see if Trump can permanently reside at the club as a 1993 restriction signed by the former president stipulated no one could stay at the resort for more than "three non-consecutive seven day periods" during one year.
"Our town attorney, John Randolph, is reviewing the Declaration of Use Agreement and our Code of Ordinances to determine if former President Trump can live at Mar-a-Lago," town manager Kirk Blouin said in a statement to Fox News.
